- WHAT!!??? I have had a CBM 2630 25mhz 030/68882 in my machine for the
- past couple of years and my speed stacks up to any other comparible
- accellerator card. I have 4 megs of 32 bit ram in it and with a DKB
- board can up that to a max of 64 megs of 32 bit ram. As far as
- compatability, I haven't had a *SINGLE* software title I own not run
- under the darn thing unless it was a game that wasn't designed to run
- under an 030 to begin with.
-
- Where this guy gets his information and how you can post it to the rest
- of the world mystifies me.
-
- I should know about compatability because I work with a dealer who has
- had just about every accellerator under the sun installed in different
- 2000's and the one we had the most problem with what GVP's 22mhz combo
- board. That thing just wouldn't work with hardly anything. Most other
- accellerators work as expected. I currently run mine in a Toaster
- system and it runs fine.
